As long as dignity is usually

If you walk any morning through any public park, you will find that the banks are packed Older people who are not noticed by other women who are not noticed. Many of these caregivers are employees of home and maintenance, which is the labor sector that occupies half a million women in our country, and this includes the needs of many Spanish families: Nearly two and a half million houses (12.8%of the total) Assign resources to this end.

Your task is necessary Because no one can imagine a world that is not interested, but unfortunatelyThe community does not pay them with the same currency. Dangerousness, informal and health problems are their daily bread. We believe in the last statement Intermittent agam Ownership Invisible work and broken bodies: Radiography of home and maintenance in Spain.

It is interesting that such an invisible work in our society has never seen everyone. Home and maintenance staff hides behind the lectures. They are refining the “woman”, taking care of our loved ones, which cannot walk alone with the doctor or are responsible for the basic and everyday needs of many families so that they get more free time. Because life is gold.

However, one of the home and maintenance staff is not much assessed. The average salary of a worker does not reach € 1,000 per monthMany people respect their gaps and do not see 32% working in the informal economy, ie without being discharged Social securityWithout warrants for safety in front of employment or professional accidents.

If we turn to the park and stop talking to one of these women, it will tell us that it comes from another country 69% of household workers foreign or double nationalism. These immigrant workers occupy one -fourth in the irregular administrative environment, usually occupying those very dangerous work and bad work conditions, such as internal regime.

“Imagine unable to get out of the house”, Maria, from Peru, is 44 -year inner worker and pointed out in an irregular administrative environment. “He is a person Alcellus I couldn’t leave her all day alone. In addition, I worked without rest from Monday to Monday, and if I want to quit, they mislead me a lot of money. ”

Unimaginable problems in any other field are normalized in using home and care

There are about 38,143 internal workers in Spain, and many are dedicated to accepting work with the wrong conditions of need. If we now dive on a job search website, We will definitely find offers that do not comply with the legitimate characterIt provides a salary that does not reach the minimum of the endless days or the age or nation.

Unimaginable problems in any other field are normalized in using home and care. It has been normalized by 90% of the workers surveyed in the past year-muscle or bone aches in the past year have been affected-and the medication to face a working day has been normalized-36.9% of the painkillers consumed. Thus, a little bit, Many workers suffer from serious consequences of dangerousness on their bodies.

“When do we have our own home, it is possible to change our lives. When do we think or enjoy our family?” The 42 -year -old exterior worker Carmen asks in a small city in northern Spain. He resolves too much without thinking that “it is impossible with the salary we have and the work we do With the feeling of giving his life to an essential job, he has no reward It is not recognized.

After March 30, the International Day of Housing and Care, It is important to see the reality of this sectorBut for the rest of the departments that they need to fully balance their labor rights. Until three years ago, home and maintenance workers did not approach basic rights such as unemployment benefit, but despite it Fight continues with the backwards acting backwards for its useThis is a historical victory as a result of the joint struggle of the housing workers and the care of the entire state.

There are many tasks pendingControlling the time of the day, the use of labor, the use of their collective rights, the equilibrium compensation of the dismissal, the recognition of the industry’s industrial illnesses or the guarantee of decent retirement. We continue to emphasize the need for a public and global care system from the Oxfam Interamone, well gifted and arrive at all homes in a timely manner. As the magic says, notice from the Atlantic Ocean on one side and on the other side “You must continue to progress until dignity becomes regular.”
